Table 1 revealed that item predictors 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9, and 10 got the remarks of
highly implemented, except item predictor 7 got the remark of implemented. As
reflected, item predictor number 6 using public transportation in going to the University
got the highest mean of 4.63 and with SD of 0.58, and item predictor number 7 using
indigenous materials rather than using plastic materials got the lowest mean of 4.18
and with SD of 0.79.
The overall mean score of 4.38 indicated that the level of adaptation of programs
on climate change reducibility is highly implemented, this is supported by the study
of Jackson (2008) stated that in order to achieve a decent waste management system,
rules and regulations in university campuses must minimize the production of waste at
each and every school community and every student level. The less utilization of
materials results in less waste generated university. And also supported the study of
Daniel (2011) that every individual could contribute to reducing waste by different means
like buying and using less, especially buying the products that have long life span,
repairing the broken materials in spite of replacing them, choosing walking as a healthy
option instead of using private vehicles for certain distances, increasing the use of
public transportation, using indigenous materials rather than using plastic materials.

Table 2 revealed that item predictors 1,6,7,8,9, and 10 got the remarks of highly

As
reflected, item predictor number 8 using used boxes got the highest mean of 4.47 and
with SD of 0.62, and item predictor number 4 renting/ borrowing an item instead of
buying new product got the lowest mean of 4.03 and with SD of 0.82.
The overall mean score of 4.28 indicated that the level of adaptation of programs
on climate change reusability is highly implemented, this is supported in a 2005
article, that zero waste institute stated that reduction in waste production is the first step
in waste management. Less production means less effort for management. Local
authorities play a vital role in reduction of waste. Mainly, school colleges waste can be
minimized if it is treated carefully within the school premises. There are efforts by the
government on different levels like media and public education to minimize school
colleges waste. Industrial level also concerned about reduction but not sufficient enough
to make a change. Reduction is the first and most important stage in the hierarchy. It
includes taking an active view in purchasing and using only what is necessary for
individual and community. The idea of reduction is to be careful of material source
stream and waste management exercises to reduce raw materials.

The overall mean score of 4.25 indicated that the status of go green LSPU as to
solid waste management is highly implemented, this is supported in the study of
Reganit (2008) about the Solid Waste Management is being practiced in varying
degrees in a number of schools throughout Metro Manila. Quezon City had launched
the Green School Brigade program where students from six public elementary schools
were encouraged to bring recyclable wastes and take them to their schools in exchange
for school supplies or grocery items.

The overall mean score of 4.17 indicated the status of go green LSPU as to
water conservation is implemented, this is supported as mentioned in the study of
Barba (2005), one of the most critical issues confronting the Philippine water sector is
the lack of an appropriate institutional framework to address issues of development and
management of water and related resources. At present, there are over 30 government
agencies and departments separately dealing with water supply, irrigation, hydropower,
flood control, pollution, watershed management, etc. It is this fragmented approach to
water management which causes an overlap of work and conflicts among agencies and
results in a fractional water management plan that does not adequately meet the
requirements for sustainability.

The overall mean score of 4.52 indicated the status of go green LSPU as to
water conservation is highly implemented, this is supported as stated in an article
entitled Energy-efficient Schools Energy conservation is a critical issue affecting
everyone, including schools. Government policy initiatives and evolving society
awareness are changing energy-use patterns. This change is driven by supply, financial,
and environmental factors. Making change to a schools energy-efficiency practices may
be coordinated by the principal, property manager, caretaker, or a teacher. However,
successful schools tend to involve the whole school and involve students throughout the
process.
